Study summary

The purpose of this first-in-human (FiH) study is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and preliminary efficacy of CKD-512 given alone and in combination with pembrolizumab in subjects with advanced or metastatic solid tumors who have failed all standard available therapy.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • confirmed advanced or solid tumors.
  • Progressive disease after or intolerance to standard therapy and no other effective therapeutic options available.
  • as defined in version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1).
  • (ECOG) performance status 0 or 1.
  • Suitable venous access for the study-required blood sampling, including PK and PD sampling.
  • Adequate clinical laboratory values and other measures

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Active disease involvement of the central nervous system.
  • Any serious or life-threatening medical condition unrelated to cancer, psychiatric illness, drug or alcohol abuse, that could, in the Investigator's opinion, potentially interfere with the completion of treatment according to this protocol.
  • Systemic anticancer treatment within the protocol-specified period prior to the first dose.
  • History of any immune-related toxicity that lead to permanent discontinuation of prior anticancer therapy
  • Radiation therapy on a limited area is allowed until 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug, provided that the radiated lesion is clinically stable.
  • Prior treatment with agents ≤21 days before the first dose of study drug(s).
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(6)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Histologically or cytologically confirmed

The diagnosis was confirmed by looking at a sample under a microscope: tissue from a biopsy or surgery (histology), or cells from a fluid or needle sample (cytology).

Your pathology report is the document that shows this.

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

Measurable disease

The amount of disease can be tracked with a defined measurement, so the study can see whether it shrinks or grows. It might be a tumour measured on a scan or, in some blood cancers such as myeloma, a marker measured in blood or urine.

The criteria or the study team say which measurement counts — having no tumour visible on a scan does not by itself rule you out.

RECIST

The standard rules for measuring tumours on CT or MRI scans, to tell whether a cancer is shrinking, stable or growing during treatment.

“Measurable disease per RECIST 1.1” usually means at least one tumour 10 mm or more at its longest on a CT scan, or a lymph node 15 mm or more across its short axis.

ECOG performance status

A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.

0
Fully active, no restrictions.
1
Limited in strenuous activity, but walking and able to do light work, such as housework or office work.
2
Walking and able to look after yourself, but unable to work; up and about more than half of waking hours.
3
Able to look after yourself only in part; in bed or a chair more than half of waking hours.
4
Unable to look after yourself at all; in bed or a chair all day.

Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Part A: Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or Optimal biologically effective dose (OBED)

    Number and proportion of subjects who experience at least 1 DLT based on incidence, nature, and severity of TEAEs and SAEs graded according to NCI-CTCAE version 5.0 as well as on changes from baseline assessments.

    Time frame: Up to 2 years

  2. Part B: Recommended dose for expansion (RDE)

    Number and proportion of subjects who experience at least 1 DLT based on incidence, nature, and severity of TEAEs and SAEs graded according to NCI-CTCAE version 5.0 as well as on changes from baseline assessments.

    Time frame: Up to 2 years

Secondary outcomes

  1. Safety and tolerability

    Incidence and severity of TEAEs, incidence of SAEs and TRAEs etc. according to the NCI-CTCAE version 5.0

    Time frame: Up to 2 years

  2. Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax)

    Cmax is defined as the maximum observed plasma concentration of CKD-512

    Time frame: Up to 2 years

  3. Cmax at steady state (Cmax_ss)

    Cmax\_ss is defined as the maximum observed plasma concentration of CKD-512 at steady state

    Time frame: Up to 2 years

  4. Area Under the Curve to the last measurable concentration (AUClast)

    AUClast is defined as the area under the plasma concentration-time curve of CKD-512 from the time of dosing to the time of the last measurable concentration.

    Time frame: Up to 2 years

  5. Area Under the Curve over the dosing interval tau (AUCtau)

    AUCtau is defined as the area under the plasma concentration-time curve of CKD-512 over a dosing interval (tau), usually at steady state.

    Time frame: Up to 2 years

  6. Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    ORR is defined as the percentage of participants whose best overall response is either complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), assessed according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1.

    Time frame: Up to 2 years

  7. Duration of Response (DOR)

    DOR is defined as the time from the date of the first documented objective tumor response (CR or PR) assessed according to RECIST or iRECIST criteria, until the date of the first documented disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.

    Time frame: Up to 2 years

  8. Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    DCR is defined as the percentage of participants whose best overall response is CR, PR, or stable disease (SD), assessed according to RECIST version 1.1 or iRECIST criteria.

    Time frame: Up to 2 years

  9. Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS is defined as the time from the date of treatment initiation to the date of the first documented disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed according to RECIST version 1.1 or iRECIST criteria.

    Time frame: Up to 2 years
